When everyone thinks that everything you say & do is wrong. When you feel more like crying than singing a song. Don't care as much about what other people think or say. Your opinion matters too at the end of the day. You've got to do what you want to do. The only person who knows, thinks & experiences the things you do is you.

When you can't do right for doing wrong. When you no longer feel like singing your song. When you feel like you're no longer fit. No matter how bad you feel, don't quit.

It's not until you lose all hope that it's gone. If you give up chances of improvement are none. Things can always get better. They will only do this if you're a go-getter.

You don't know what you can do unless you try. If you don't try to do what you want to do, you'll always be asking yourself why. Sometimes fate has something better in store for you. Sometimes we just have to make do with what we have, sometimes good enough just won't do.

They say "life is what you make it". I don't believe it one bit. The rich have everything they want because they can afford to pay. Some people have hard lives & some people get everything their own way. They get everything their way because they're smarmy & always say "it's not fair" while buttering up bosses. Other people work very hard for everything they get & then they always have to "hod their hosses". Some people are always wrong even when they're right & know they're right. Some people are constantly having to argue & fight. They have to argue & fight for their rights to do anything even if they don't feel up to it anymore. Some people lose confidence because of this & think they don't know anything anymore & they're a bore. They hold things back because they think they're always wrong & care too much for other people's views. They don't realise their opinions are just as important & don't realise that in life some things you can choose.

They really did a lot for society. I'm going out. I'll tell you what I got & how I enjoyed myself later.

I just wanted to help end the stigma of mental health issues & get rid of the myth that mentally ill people are off their heads when some are actually smarter than people without mental health issues. Like you said people suffer from mental health issues for many reasons. I'm glad you like my poem.

Stigma of mental health ...is ongoing Shrouded with fear and the unknown.

Just like youíre expressing in your latest poem. Why war?

Pillage and destruction is so far removed from love

Great work ...your poems are deep and moving.

It definitely is.

It was how I felt about what has been going on in the world today. Our thoughts & feelings can change from 1 subject to another so quickly.

Why do we need all these violent crimes? Why do they have to be a sign of the times? Why do we have to have all this fighting? Instead of war couldn't people all these wrongs be righting? Does anyone ever know what all these wars are for? Why will there never be an end to war? Why is the news always so bad? Why is the news always so sad? I know we need money to live on every day. Money is just a means of exchange if we think of it that way. We haven't always had money. I know some people will find that funny. Lives should be the most important thing as they can't just be replaced. Why are some people in need while some wealthy people money waste? Why do people with capital always get what they want & some people treat others like something they've just walked in? Why are some employers that nasty to staff that staff feel like they belong in the rubbish bin? I thought everyone had equal rights. If that's so why are there so many wars about money, why do the people with money always get what they want & why are there so many racist & sexist cases of abuse, harassment & fights? At 1 time people used to barter services or goods. That was when Britain was mainly full of woods. In a utopian world we wouldn't need money as we'd share everything & work together as part of a team. We'd have no wars, arguments or fights but this idea is just a very nice dream.
